In commit d7f5e43 "core::rt: Add the local heap to newsched tasks",
local_malloc and local_free have become rather big and their forced
inlining causes quite a bit of code bloat. Compile times for crates
affected by the bloat (e.g. rustc) improve, while others (e.g. libstd)
seem to be unaffected, so I guess the inlining doesn't gain us much.
Sizes:
| librustc | libsytax
---------------|–-----------|------------
with inlining | 18,547,824 | 7,110,848
w/o inlining | 15,092,040 | 5,518,608
I just had `git apply` fix most of them and then did a quick skim over the diff to fix a few cases where it did the wrong thing (mostly replacing tabs with 4 spaces, when someone's editor had them at 8 spaces).
The install command should work now, though it only installs
in-place (anything else has to wait until I implement RUST_PATH).
Also including:
core: Add remove_directory_recursive, change copy_file
Make copy_file preserve permissions, and add a remove_directory_recursive
function.

Sorry this is so big, and sorry the first commit is just titled 'wip'.
Some interesting bits
* [LocalServices](f9069baa70) - This is the set of runtime capabilities that *all* Rust code should expect access to, including the local heap, GC, logging, unwinding.
* [impl Reader, etc. for Option](5fbb0949a5) - Constructors like `File::open` return Option<FileStream>. This lets you write I/O code without ever unwrapping an option.
This series adds a lot of [documentation](https://github.com/brson/rust/blob/io/src/libcore/rt/io/mod.rs#L11) to `core::rt::io`.
Even more of `core::run` could be rust-ified -- I believe that access to the C extern environ can be done with rust now. I did not do this because some special casing is needed for OSX and I don't have a mac I can test with.
I think this will also fix#6096.
- it is now cross platform, instead of just unix
- it now avoids sleeping (fixing issue #6156)
- it now calls force_destroy() when force = true (was a bug)
This adds #[inline] to many very common string routines (e.g. `len`).
It also rewrites `repeat` to not use `+=` and make it O(n) rather than O(n^2), and also concat/connect(_slices) to reduce the overhead of reallocations, and constantly `set_len`ing (etc) in `push_str`. (The added complexity might not be worth the 20% speedup though.)
I have noticed these comments scattered across the codebase. They appear to be vestigial Emacs formatting settings and they don't appear in newer files. For the sake of consistency it's probably best to remove them.
